Jim Sikavitsas, Managing Director of Tullamarine Bus Lines, was concerned at the high incidence of vandalism on buses, including school runs, and the negative impact this was having on his drivers and passengers. Continual driver and passenger abuse, graffiti and the ongoing vandalism of bus interiors was unacceptable so he turned to DTI, a leader in the area of mass transit video surveillance systems.
DTI installed the advanced surveillance system on selected buses with each system comprising five high-definition cameras—four inside the bus of which one is forward-facing—GPS, and a driver duress button, and the results to date are very positive.

The system is further supported by the capability to wirelessly download footage, as well as a comprehensive Fleet Management software suite to maintain the surveillance systems effectively. The knowledge that vandalism is being videoed acts as a deterrent, resulting in better behavior and an improved ridership experience for both the drivers and passengers. The clarity of the digital images obtained by the system means that offenders can be easily identified so that appropriate action can be taken.  

Mr Sikavitsas is delighted with the performance of the surveillance system and commented that the incidence of vandalism and abuse has been reduced.

“Our passengers and drivers are entitled to a safe and hassle-free journey on our buses and by deterring and curbing vandalism and abuse we are achieving both,” he said.  “The DTI system has saved us time by not having to go to each bus to retrieve video footage.  We simply schedule the footage to be downloaded wirelessly when the bus returns to our depot.”

Each metro car will be equipped with DTI's latest Mobile Digital Recorder (MDR-5) and eight high resolution colour cameras plus wireless infrastructure. A Driver Display presents the view of the two exit cameras in each of the metro cars which are connected together to form the metro car-set. Importantly, the MDR-5 systems are configured to auto-discover each other in any coupled metro car-set so that the view from each exit door camera is automatically presented and can be easily seen by the driver without the need for any user intervention notifying which metro cars are coupled together. A single touch on any individual camera image expands that image to full screen size. A second touch reduces the image back to its’ original size.

The order for 81 metro cars was received after a successful trial involving four metro cars, and back office fleet management system and software. After receiving the order for the trial in April with an extremely difficult timeline, the trial equipment was delivered on schedule in May and successfully tested by the Rotterdam customer in June.

Netherlands based company VCS Observation has partnered with DTI for the project. VCS will be the prime contractor and will supply installation services. VCS is a major integrator and provider of surveillance solutions in the Netherlands.

The Rotterdam project further builds on DTI's success in providing advanced transit surveillance solutions and services in the Rail and Tram market. With over 12,000 cameras installed or on order in buses, trains, and trams globally, DTI is well positioned as a recognised transit surveillance provider.

Jaap Spiering, Business Development Manager of DTI Netherlands said: “We are pleased to provide a solution to VCS and Rotterdam which meets their challenging requirements and we look forward to building a strong and enduring relationship”.

VCS Observation is the RET's preferred supplier of video surveillance solutions. For years both companies have been working together to improve security in public transport in and around the Rotterdam area.

According to Michel Neelemans, Manager Operations of VCS Observation, apart from CCTV surveillance at the metro stations, camera surveillance in metro cars was high on the priority list of the RET. “Through an excellent cooperation with DTI the trial was completed very successfully and installation of the Mobile Digital Recorder and the camera's in the metro cars can now start. VCS Observation and the RET both hope this extension to the current video camera supervision will improve security and livability in Rotterdam's public transport system even more.”

Awarded in August 2007, the project was a major security undertaking which delivered a 'whole of fleet' video surveillance system across all of Canberra’s 340 buses. Each bus was equipped with DTI's latest Mobile Digital Recorder (MDR-4) and between 2 and five high resolution colour cameras. A microphone located in the forward part of the bus is available to capture audio/voice communications under 'duress' or emergency situations.

The scope of works also included DTI's GPS based vehicle location system, wireless data communications infrastructure and DTI's fleet management software suite. DTI's wireless infrastructure and back-end CCTV management system centralises and coordinates the bus CCTV network and allows video evidence to be recovered from buses through an on-line automated CCTV 'booking' system.

DTI Group Ltd has been awarded through public tender, a major contract by the ACT Government to supply, install and maintain CCTV equipment across 340 metro buses in Canberra. The project is a major security undertaking which will deliver 'whole of fleet' video surveillance across all of Canberra’s buses.

Each bus will be equipped with DTI's latest Mobile Digital Recorder (MDR-4) and between 3 and five high resolution colour cameras. A microphone located in the forward part of the bus is available to capture audio/voice communications under 'duress' or emergency situations.

The scope of works also includes DTI's GPS based vehicle location system, wireless data communications infrastructure and DTI's fleet management software suite. DTI's wireless infrastructure and back-end CCTV management system centralises and coordinates the bus CCTV network and allows video evidence to be recovered from buses through an on-line automated CCTV 'booking' system.

The Canberra project further builds on DTI's success across Australia in providing advanced city-wide transit surveillance operations and positions DTI as the major digital CCTV provider in Australia.

The trial involves automatic detection and identification of vehicles which infringe on tram lanes.

A detection device provided by Tenix will be affixed to the front and rear of each tram which will track and monitor vehicles in the near vicinity of the tram. If the vehicle infringes on the tram line, the detection device will automatically request footage to be archived for later identification and processing for possible fines.

This is the first contract in which Tenix and DTI have joined forces to supply advanced vehicle detection and recording technology in an integrated system.

J-1708 is a standard protocol used for devices such as signs and engine management systems on newer buses in the US to communicate with each other. This interface is now in use on the 143 MobileView4 systems designed and supplied to GE for buses in Washington DC.

Around 500 of Perth's transit buses will be upgraded to support high speed wireless data transfers and to enable the network to be managed and controlled from a central monitoring facility.

Since 2000, DTI has been supplying and installing digital CCTV systems into Perth's transit buses with approximately 650 buses now equipped with up to 7 high resolution cameras. As of 2006, all new buses were also equipped with DTI's GPS based vehicle location system and high-speed wireless data communication capacity. The upgrade program being undertaken by DTI addresses the 550 buses which were delivered prior to 2006.

The wireless upgrade is a major advancement to the transit CCTV infrastructure providing a coordinated and centrally managed facility covering Perth's bus network. In addition to the on-vehicle upgrades, DTI will be supplying and installing across Perth's 16 bus depots, high speed communications infrastructure and mass storage data servers on which the city's transit surveillance information will be hosted. Advanced CCTV viewing stations will also be installed for use by bus operators, transit agencies and police to undertaken investigations using the surveillance information.

The technology behind the on-board CCTV equipment, the communications infrastructure, the transit network management systems and the CCTV investigation software has been designed and developed by DTI as part of the company's on-going effort in developing leading edge transit surveillance management solutions.

Complimenting the supply contract, DTI has also been engaged under a 5 year outsourced management contract to monitor, support and maintain the transit CCTV network. In delivering this operate contract, DTI will establish at it's Perth Headquarters, a call centre and a centralised CCTV management facility to monitor the city-wide network (Surveillance Service Bureau).

The upgrade rollout and the establishment of the Surveillance Service Bureau is due for completion by mid 2007.

"The MobileView system helps transit systems save money by deterring crime and vandalism as well as disposing of false and misleading claims more quickly," said Robert Siegel, GE Security's General Manager for Video and Software Solutions. "By showcasing a safer riding experience, MobileView helps increase passenger volumes and Rapid Transit Authority revenues. It is successfully employed by transit systems in Chicago, Las Vegas, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Miami, Phoenix and Reno."

Under the strategic agreement, GE Security will license DTI's transit surveillance I.P. / technology for the MobileView IV product and it's associated CCTV investigation and fleet management software suites. GE Security will market and distribute the MobileView product range and will pay to DTI license fees for each system sold. MobileView IV is available through GE's extensive global dealer network.

While final licensing and distribution agreements were consummated in October 2006, DTI and GE Security have been actively engaged on the design and development phase of this next generation transit surveillance solution for some 18 months. DTI will manufacture the first 750 MobileView IV systems from its Perth, Western Australia facility after which time GE Security will take over manufacturing responsibilities. Deliveries of MobileView IV through GE Security are to commence in October 2006.

DTI's partnership with GE Security represents a major growth opportunity for the company as it builds its business globally. GE Security's decision to adopt DTI's technology in its next generation MobileView product is a strong endorsement to DTI's success in developing advanced surveillance technologies which are ideally suited and tailored to the needs of transit agencies.

MobileView IV records up to 12 cameras at up to 120 pictures per second, offers up to 1Tb of internal data storage, has integrated GPS for vehicle tracking and locating and provides extensive peripheral inputs for measuring and recoding associated vehicle operating data including speed, braking, turn indicator use and g-force levels. The associated software suites provide advanced CCTV investigation tools, automated data recovery using WiFi communications and comprehensive enterprise level vehicle and case management systems.

Each bus will be equipped with DTI's latest Mobile Digital Recorder (MDR-4) and five high resolution colour cameras. A microphone located in the forward part of the bus is available to capture audio/voice communications under 'duress' or emergency situations.

Extensions to the Government's scope of works were negotiated directly between DTI and the Adelaide bus operators to include DTI's GPS based vehicle location system, wireless data communications infrastructure and DTI's fleet management software suite. The combined Government-Private contract totalled over $4.5M and will see Adelaide's buses equipped with one of the most advanced city-wide transit surveillance systems in the country.

DTI's wireless infrastructure and back-end CCTV management system centralises and coordinates the bus CCTV network and allows video evidence to be recovered from buses through an on-line automated CCTV 'booking' system.

For example, video evidence pertaining to a security incident is entered by CCTV operators into the network by way of computer terminal. The CCTV network then automatically locates and recovers the requested information from the appropriate bus and stores it on one of DTI's 12 CCTV data servers located across Adelaide. The CCTV operator is then able to review and investigate the incident using DTI's CCTV investigation software.

The Adelaide project further builds on DTI's success across Australia in providing advanced city-wide transit surveillance operations and positions DTI as the major digital CCTV provider in Australia.
